Abstract

A vehicle sun visor includes a hollow visor main body that includes a frame portion including an opening, a mirror that is attached to the frame portion to face the opening, and a mirror cover configured to slide relative to the visor main body between a closed position at which the mirror cover covers the mirror and an open position at which the mirror cover exposes the mirror. The vehicle sun visor further includes at least one of a first stopper portion that is disposed at a section of the frame portion on a leading side in an opening direction of the mirror cover and protrudes toward the mirror cover, or a second stopper portion that is disposed at an end portion of the mirror cover on a leading side in a closing direction of the mirror cover and protrudes toward the mirror.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A vehicle sun visor, comprising:
 a hollow visor main body that includes a frame portion including an opening; 
 a mirror that is attached to the frame portion to face the opening; and 
 a mirror cover configured to slide, relative to the visor main body, between a closed position at which the mirror cover covers the mirror and an open position at which the mirror cover exposes the mirror, wherein 
 the mirror cover is configured to be positioned at the closed position by moving from an interior of the visor main body to a position at which the mirror cover overlaps with the opening, and to be positioned at the open position by retracting into the interior of the visor main body from the opening, and 
 the vehicle sun visor further comprises:
 a first stopper portion that is disposed at a section of the frame portion on a leading side in an opening direction of the mirror cover and protrudes toward the mirror cover; and 
 a second stopper portion that is disposed at an end portion of the mirror cover on a leading side in a closing direction of the mirror cover and protrudes toward the mirror 
 
 wherein the mirror cover includes:
 a plate-shaped cover main body including a front surface opposite to the mirror and a back surface located on the side where the mirror is disposed; 
 a grip portion configured to be gripped to slide the mirror cover relative to the visor main body; 
 the grip portion protrudes from an end portion of the front surface of the cover main body on the leading side in the closing direction toward a side opposite to the mirror; and 
 the second stopper portion protrudes from an end portion of the back surface of the cover main body on the leading side in the closing direction toward the mirror and faces, in the closing direction, a section of the cover main body on the leading side in the opening direction. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The vehicle sun visor according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the mirror cover further includes:
 a plate-shaped card holding portion spaced apart from the front surface, 
 
 a slit is disposed between the cover main body and the card holding portion, the slit being configured so that a card is insertable into the slit, and 
 an insertion direction of the card relative to the slit agrees with the opening direction of the mirror cover. 
 
     
     
       3. The vehicle sun visor according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the card holding portion of the mirror cover is one of two card holding portions, 
 the cover main body includes a main body-side holding portion that extends along and between the two the card holding portions in plan view, 
 the slit is disposed between the main body-side holding portion and each of the two card holding portions, and 
 the first stopper portion is disposed between the two card holding portions and protrudes toward the main body-side holding portion. 
 
     
     
       4. The vehicle sun visor according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the visor main body includes:
 two rails configured to support the mirror cover in a slidable manner; and 
 a mirror support portion configured to support the mirror, 
 
 the frame portion includes an insertion opening between the mirror and the section of the frame portion on the leading side in the opening direction, 
 the insertion opening is configured such that the grip portion passes beyond the frame portion when the mirror cover is inserted obliquely into the insertion opening toward the two rails, and 
 the second stopper portion is disposed at a position that does not interfere with the mirror when the mirror cover is inserted obliquely into the insertion opening toward the two rails. 
 
     
     
       5. The vehicle sun visor according to  claim 4 , wherein
 a gap is formed between the second stopper portion and the mirror when the mirror cover is positioned at the open position, 
 a third stopper portion is disposed inside the visor main body and protrudes toward the opening from a section of the visor main body facing the opening, and 
 the third stopper portion faces the gap in the opening direction. 
 
     
     
       6. The vehicle sun visor according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a gap is formed between the second stopper portion and the mirror when the mirror cover is positioned at the open position, 
 a third stopper portion is disposed inside the visor main body and protrudes toward the opening from a section of the visor main body facing the opening, and 
 the third stopper portion faces the gap in the opening direction. 
 
     
     
       7. A vehicle sun visor, comprising:
 a hollow visor main body that includes a frame portion including an opening; 
 a mirror that is attached to the frame portion to face the opening; and 
 a mirror cover configured to slide, relative to the visor main body, between a closed position at which the mirror cover covers the mirror and an open position at which the mirror cover exposes the mirror, wherein 
 the mirror cover is configured to be positioned at the closed position by moving from an interior of the visor main body to a position at which the mirror cover overlaps with the opening, and to be positioned at the open position by retracting into the interior of the visor main body from the opening, and 
 the vehicle sun visor further comprises:
 a first stopper portion that is disposed at a section of the frame portion on a leading side in an opening direction of the mirror cover and protrudes toward the mirror cover; and 
 a second stopper portion that is disposed at an end portion of the mirror cover on a leading side in a closing direction of the mirror cover and protrudes toward the mirror wherein, 
 
 the visor main body includes:
 two rails configured to support the mirror cover in a slidable manner; and 
 a mirror support portion configured to support the mirror, 
 
 the mirror cover includes a grip portion configured to be gripped to slide the mirror cover relative to the visor main body, 
 the grip portion protrudes from the end portion of the mirror cover on the leading side in the closing direction, 
 the frame portion includes an insertion opening between the mirror and the section of the frame portion on the leading side in the opening direction, 
 the insertion opening is configured such that the grip portion passes beyond the frame portion when the mirror cover is inserted obliquely into the insertion opening toward the two rails, and 
 the second stopper portion is disposed at a position that does not interfere with the mirror when the mirror cover is inserted obliquely into the insertion opening toward the two rails. 
 
     
     
       8. A vehicle sun visor, comprising:
 a hollow visor main body that includes a frame portion including an opening; 
 a mirror that is attached to the frame portion to face the opening; and 
 a mirror cover configured to slide, relative to the visor main body, between a closed position at which the mirror cover covers the mirror and an open position at which the mirror cover exposes the mirror, wherein 
 the mirror cover is configured to be positioned at the closed position by moving from an interior of the visor main body to a position at which the mirror cover overlaps with the opening, and to be positioned at the open position by retracting into the interior of the visor main body from the opening, and 
 the vehicle sun visor further comprises:
 a first stopper portion that is disposed at a section of the frame portion on a leading side in an opening direction of the mirror cover and protrudes toward the mirror cover; and 
 a second stopper portion that is disposed at an end portion of the mirror cover on a leading side in a closing direction of the mirror cover and protrudes toward the mirror wherein 
 
 a gap is formed between the second stopper portion and the mirror when the mirror cover is positioned at the open position, 
 a third stopper portion is disposed inside the visor main body and protrudes toward the opening from a section of the visor main body facing the opening, and
 the third stopper portion faces the gap in the opening direction.
